in reply to Passing password with command

Maybe the command doesn't accept input through stdin. If this is a unix-ish system and something like this the following doesn't work from the command line, then look into Expect or the command line expect:
command <<EOT
pwd1
pwd2
EOT

Updated wording.

Update: Original post has been updated so this and any other answers no longer make any sense. Bad OP. Bad, bad OP. BTW, The 'EOT' thing is a "here doc" and is generally a unix concept (though there is the same sort of thing from within perl).

    Using a here document means that the input is being read from STDIN, which isn't what is needed.

      Maybe what I wrote is confusing...I said (or tried to say) to try a here document, and if it doesn't work, then the command does not read from STDIN, and then go look into expect.
